NSV (non scale victory) I went shopping at CATOs over the weekend and of course went straight to the plus size side of the store. I started out a size 22 but knew I lost some weight so went down to 18, then 16 and both were too big! I was able to shop in the regular size side of the store! Bought a couple of 14's! Surgery was Dec 30th. So happy!

2. Able to cross my legs

3. Can comfortable reach my toes to paint them

4. Lost a few chins!!

To be continued....

I was able to fit into a suit today that I haven't worn in 3 years. I got so many compliments today about how "slimming" it was on me. It was like getting new clothes... all I had to do was shop in my back closet where all my out grown clothes are hanging. I'm a happy camper.

  • I can wear a few different sizes, depending on the brand, that I couldn't before. && they're comfortable!
  • Old rings are fitting again!
  • Lost my double chin, thankfully.
  • No longer in *warning* area of being diabetic.
  • Losing inches everywhere.

Just a few nice things.

My mom absolutely loves Cato's.... I went in with her the other day and bought a few outfits from the "regular" size section as well. Prior to surgery I was 16w/18w depending on the material, cut, maker,etc. Bought a few size 16 pants and XL shirts and hoping to be in them by the end of the month.

My NSV victory today was wearing my Old Navy (size 18 ) skinny jeans. They use to be SUPER tight...and I use to have a horrible muffin top when I put them on. Well today..I had to keep pulling them up because they are too big. Also can take them off without unbuttoning or unzipping. Looks like I am getting closer to a size 14...really hoping to be there before the end of April.

My collar bone and jaw lines are becoming more pronounced. My neck is starting to look skinny. :)

My step mom told me I have lost a few chins (backhanded compliment???). But mine has to be tying my shoes without having to turn my foot sideways to do it. I have a turkey neck which I am incredibly proud of - I know it sounds silly but it's an indication to me that the pounds are coming off. Of course, climbing the stairs without dying is a huge accomplishment as well.

What a great topic! VERY encouraging!!!!

My surgery was Feb 3rd and I am down 25 lbs. My husband sees me everyday and he said he sorta sees it. Well yesterday, we were visiting family and he came around the corner from the kitchen to the Living room and said he had to look twice because he said WOW you really have lost weight God I love that guy! A co-worker today said are you losing weight? I said yes I am. He said keep up the good work your looking great! I love my life right now.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
